Chapter 46 Persuasion

The splint on Zhang Xiaolong's arm has been removed, but it is still fixed with a belt and other objects, placed on his chest, and the other hand hangs naturally by his side. He is standing not far behind Liu Qian, looking at Mr. Liu The touching scene of father and daughter meeting. I have a very good relationship with my father and mother, but I have never experienced separation. Naturally, I don’t know what it feels like. Now that I see my beloved behave like this, I feel happy for her. I also know that my decision this time should be the right one.

Zhang Xiaohu stood next to Zhang Xiaolong, still holding the bottle of water in his hand, but his eyes were looking around the yard, as if he was looking for someone.

Mr. Liu stroked his daughter's hair lovingly, and looked over Liu Qian's head to Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu. He smiled at them and nodded. He also moved his hand away from his daughter's head and waved slightly to them. ,Apologizes. Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu naturally nodded and waited.

Butcher Liu saw Liu Qian coming back and was greeted by Mr. Liu, but he didn't get up. He continued to drink his own small wine. After finishing the wine, he saw the two brothers standing at the door, so he stood up and smiled. Hehe said: "I asked who sent Qianqian back. It turned out to be our two heroes. Come on, come in and have a drink with uncle."

Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu smiled and walked towards the square table under the eaves.

Liu Qian, who was bored with her father, heard the word "drink", raised her head, and said to Butcher Liu: "Second uncle, Xiaolong's injury is not completely healed yet, and he can't drink yet. If you want to drink, just ask Xiaohu. "

Butcher Liu said loudly: "You girl, your elbows are turned outward now."

Liu Qian said softly: "Second uncle~"

Butcher Liu said: "Okay, don't call me. I understand. I haven't seen you call me uncle a few times in normal times."

Mr. Liu looked at the farm boy approaching him intriguingly. He still has an unattractive appearance, and his youthful face is full of vitality. He doesn't look as submissive as other farmers, nor does he have the care of Zhang Cai. He seems to have bright eyes, and the clothes on his body are shabby, but they are very clean. , it fits him very well, and his steps are very steady, one step at a time, which makes people look very solid. Mr. Liu naturally knew Liu Qian's intention of bringing Zhang Xiaolong back. Although he strongly disagreed with this marriage, he did admire Zhang Xiaolong quite a lot.

At this time, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu also walked up to Mr. Liu and saluted Mr. Liu respectfully. Mr. Liu was not too polite this time, and simply gestured and said: "You have worked hard for coming here. Look, the weather is already dark." It's getting late, and it's impossible to go back to Guozhuang today, so just stay here for the night. You go and accompany my second brother first, and I'll go over after I finish talking to Qianqian."

After the two brothers agreed, they walked to the eaves, each picked up a stool and sat down, chatting with Butcher Liu. Mr. Liu said to Liu Qian: "Qianqian, let's go to the study room to talk."

Liu Qian let go of her arm holding her father and said, "Dad, you go first, and I'll make tea for you. Xiaolong and I brought this specially from Guozhuang. Do you want to drink it?"

Mr. Liu didn't say anything, shook his head helplessly, and returned to the study with a smile.

Liu Qian walked to the eaves and took the bottle of water from Zhang Xiaohu. She glanced at Zhang Xiaolong and said, "You guys talk to my second uncle first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil water and get you some side dishes and snacks. Let's go." After an afternoon, I must be hungry."

Liu Qian went to the kitchen and put the well water on the fire to boil. When the water was boiling, she looked at the empty kitchen and picked out the ready-made things to make two simple dishes. She couldn't make snacks and only had a few leftovers. The pancakes were brought out along with the side dishes to satisfy the hunger of the two brothers. Butcher Liu happily served the side dishes, drank some wine, and poured Zhang Xiaohu a glass from time to time without actually asking Zhang Xiaolong to drink.

After a while, the water boiled. Liu Qian carefully made tea, took the tea set and water, and walked to the study.

Before entering the study, she looked back at Zhang Xiaolong. The two looked at each other. Liu Qian nodded, her eyes full of affirmation, and then she turned back and walked into the study.

Mr. Liu in the study was absentmindedly reading a book. When Liu Qian came in, he put the book down, sniffed and said, "The water in Guozhuang is different. When you make tea, the aroma is overflowing." , it’s rare.”

Liu Qian put the tea cup in front of her father and watched her father smell the aroma of the tea, sipping the tea one mouthful at a time, then closing her eyes and savoring the tea without speaking.

After Mr. Liu drank for a while, she said, "Dad, how do you like this tea?"

Mr. Liu said: "Well, this tea is naturally much better than what I usually drink, but it is still not as mellow as the last time I drank it in Guozhuang. It should be because it has been left for too long, and it is not as good as fresh water."

Then, Liu Qian stopped asking any more questions, and Mr. Liu only concentrated on tasting the tea without speaking.

The two sat across from each other for a while. Mr. Liu thought for a while and spoke first with a smile: "Qianqian, you came back in a hurry this time. Is there anything you want to tell daddy?"

Liu Qian blushed and said, "Daddy is asking this question knowingly. If I don't come back, won't dad have to pick me up in a few days?"

Mr. Liu sighed, put the tea cup on the table and said: "Qianqian, since you were a child, your father has always followed your own temper and has not interfered with you very much. This time, father did not listen to you. You should know that father Work hard."

Liu Qian thought for a moment and said, "I guess daddy's intention is that he is afraid that I will suffer hardship in the Zhang family and do farm work every day. He is also afraid that Zhang Xiaolong is a rough rural man and that my future life will not be as good as when I was at home?"

Mr. Liu nodded and said: "This life is not a problem of one person, but a life of two people. If one person likes to study and the other wants to farm, then the direction of life will be divergent, and life will naturally be boring and will not last long. Moreover, , the Zhang family is very poor, you should know during this time that you are not living comfortably in Baligou."

Liu Qian also nodded and said, "Dad, what you said is correct. I have considered all of this. I even told Zhang Xiaolong's mother that she said the same thing as you and hoped that I would consider it carefully."

Mr. Liu wondered: "Did she really say that?"

Liu Qian said: "Of course, I didn't expect that my aunt, a rural woman who doesn't know much, could be so reasonable."

Mr. Liu sighed: "This is really rare. No wonder I can raise such a generous child."

Then, Mr. Liu added: "Actually, these are things you can't understand. It's just the experience given to you by those of us who have been through it. With your character, it may not be effective. Only when you hit a wall yourself will you know the painstaking efforts of your father. But although your mother's incident has been a long time ago, I still remember it vividly. If I had the ability, I would not let your mother suffer and leave us early. Therefore, I don't want your mother's tragedy to happen to you again. occur."

Liu Qian was confident, and then said: "Dad, maybe you are obsessed with this. If you had the ability, would you still be who you are now? Can mother be happy with you? If she is not happy, then life is What's the value of a lifetime? My mother respects you, loves you, and has been with you for just ten years, but the happiness she gets is something that no one else can get in a lifetime. Which one is her choice? ?”

Liu Qian continued: "Dad, in fact, I have always believed that the destiny of life has been arranged. Whether you are sad or happy, it is a kind of life. Human life is a kind of trajectory, and various trajectories are intertwined. Being together is the whole life. Your participation is destined to be in your mother’s trajectory, and your happiness with your mother is also destined to be in your trajectory. You have always blamed your mother’s death on your ability. You can’t be very Take good care of her. In fact, it is not the case. From the moment mother met you, our family's life has already been born. Mother's happiness and ending have long been doomed. Any changes are in vain. If father was keen on officialdom back then, naturally, I will ignore my mother. Of course my mother will not leave us early, but will she live a happy life?"

Seeing Mr. Liu deep in thought, Liu Qian continued: "Actually, I have been thinking about my encounter with Zhang Xiaolong. I also told Yueyue before that since the moment I met Zhang Xiaolong in the fabric store, our trajectory has changed. It’s all intertwined. Dad must know what happened during this period, and I don’t need to go into details. I can only use the word fate to describe what happened between me and Xiaolong. Moreover, there is another very crucial thing, Maybe dad doesn’t know.”

Mr. Liu was stunned and said, "What is that?"

Liu Qian said mysteriously: "Dad, do you think the water in Guozhuang is particularly delicious?"

Mr. Liu said: "Yes, so what?"

Then, Liu Qian told Mr. Liu that her grandmother was sick and went to Lu Town for medical treatment. Mr. Liu was obviously surprised and asked: "Can you confirm that it is the effect of this well water?"

Liu Qian said: "Of course, you can tell just by looking at Zhang Xiaolong's arm. Have you ever seen anyone whose arm bones were broken and could recover so quickly in just one month? Moreover, the last time Yueyue went there Looking at me, they say that my skin is obviously much better than before, and I feel this myself now."

Mr. Liu frowned and stopped asking. Liu Qian continued: "Dad, think about it, this well water is priceless. Your body has always been very weak. You have never felt better since your mother left." , can make you healthy, which is what I have always wished for, and now that I have this well water, it is not an extravagant wish to live a hundred years. This well water was dug out by the Zhang family, and it belongs to the Zhang family. Then do you think this is another opportunity given to me and Xiaolong by God?"

"Moreover, the eldest brother has never gotten married, and I don't know whether my future sister-in-law will be virtuous. If I move to the Zhang family and you move to Guozhuang, on the one hand, I can serve my father, and on the other hand, my father can also enjoy the gift of God. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ?Solved everything on my mind?”
